by John Zagarella (Author), Donna Borrelli Long (Editor)

Personal correspondence and photographs demonstrate how the conflict affects U.S. Army, 28th Infantryman, Pvt. John "Lefty" Zagarella and his young bride Jeanne from 1941 to 1945.

Jeanne preserved and treasured her collection of letters for nearly seven decades; letters that reveal an extraordinary amount of courage, honor, sacrifice and love among two ordinary Americans, nurtured as a matter of course, even during the most trying of historical circumstances.
